Dalohad:
She is saying that 'Muslims are more than Christians', therefore the Christians should continue to be killed or marginalized..




This is why Trump needs to come hard on the Tinubu family..

He should deal with them seriously..

Anyways, this comment will help the Christian Biafrans separatists in the US to solidify their case.

This comment is a win for them. They will keep pushing till Nigeria cracks for the betterment of the indigenous people in it..

COMPAQ:
From a political perspective,she has a point.

No Northern Christian can win a general election in Nigeria whether he contest as President or as Vice President

IbileIfe:
She is both intellectually and politically ignorant and naive.
Muslims are not more than Christians in Nigeria.
The political lie that Muslims are more than Christians was based on the last census which the north lied with fake figures tabulated without seeing the people, because the Sharia states lied to get more revenue allocations.

Millions of Muslims in northern Nigeria are not bona fide citizens of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. They are mostly from Mali and Republic of Niger.
They have been used to rig the census and presidential elections.

The North is the problem of Nigeria.
87 percent of the poorest people in Nigeria are in the northern region.

Our political title chasers know these facts, but prefer to ignore them for their selfish political interests.

Sharia states ban public sales of alcohol, but majority of their youths are drug addicts.
Their hypocrisy is political buffoonery.

plessis:
Acknowledgement of her husband playing divisive politics.

budaatum:
Stupid, maybe, but the fact her husband got elected on a Southern Muslim and Northern Muslim platform does prove she has a point. As for religious bigotry, I'm certain you are describing the majority Nigerians.

It might have been harder for a Tinubu win if he'd chosen a Christian as his running mate, as Northern Muslims might not have voted for him even if that Christian mate were from the North. But I'm certain we'd see the results of various permutations in the future sometime to see how it plays out.

Dalohad:
Igbos are not the third biggest group. Igbos are the biggest group in Southern Nigeria. And arguably the biggest group in Nigeria and West Africa.

There is nowhere in the world you don't find an Igbo..

Landmass does not restrict population of the Igbo..The world is their own landmass .

Dalohad:
You only wrote from an angle of emotionalism without proper foundation with verifiable facts. You were just pulling out figures and statistics from thin air, like someone who argues at newspaper stands at Molete bus stop in Ibadan.

Do you know why we have not done a proper census with Ethnicity and religion included as factors since the end of the civil war?

Find out or come back back for a proper lecture..

I'm an Assistant Professor, and I am sure that I have more information than you do.

lawani:
Those population estimates are based on NIN registration. There are also statistics that back my claim like voter registration and active GSM lines. With over 12 million NIN registration Lagos probably has 23 million people. SE has 10 million NIN registration. All the data is online. Where is your Igbo population going to come from? Most state's population is more than ninety percent indigenous and the non indigenes in any state come from all over Nigeria. Igbos don't outnumber Yoruba in any non Igbo city and they don't outnumber Hausa in Yoruba land. There are places in Yoruba land where Ebira, Urhobo etc outnumber Igbo.
If Igbos are saying they are more than Yoruba in population that is like announcing that you have planted 300 heaps of yam when you have only 100. Will you start eating untruths when the truth has finished? Yoruba land in Nigeria has more than three times the GDP of Igbo land and you think they are peers?
According to people that went through the NUC register, the Yoruba now have around thrice the number of Igbo Professors. How do you think that can be possible if they are not double the population of Igbos?

Let us all hope the country will be peacefully divided so that everybody will carry their cross and know their true weight and wherewithal. If Yoruba is a sovereign country, will Igbo be claiming they are up to them? Nigeria is the cause of the problem.

Dalohad:
You are still pulling figures from thin and deodorize them with pseudo-objectivism based on emotions..

I was expecting you to quote figures, citations, references and verifiable sources that are credible..

Show us the report that say that Yoruba processors outnumber Igbos today.. We heard that a lot during the pre-internet day when Yorubas spread propaganda and eulogize themselves as the most educated and presented the average Igbo man as an unlettered crude Emeka and sons businessman.

The era of the internet tore those claims to shreds. Recently there were threads herein on NL showing Imo State as the most literate state in Nigeria, with Enugu having the highest number of tertiary institutions in Nigeria.

casualobserver:
She is stating a matter of fact.

Christians have swallowed the idea of one man one wife despite there being no such thing in the Bible. One man one wife is one of those cultural aspects of. The Europeans we swallowed. Just like white wedding. It’s a European cultural thing not Biblical.


Muslims marry more than 1 wife and have more children than Christians. You are more likely to see a christian woman die without children than a Muslim woman.

Even if (though not conceding) it is not the case now, it is an inevitable fact of our future.

Ibos will overwhelm Yorubas in the SW and Muslims will constitute the majority of our population if not already. These are demographic inevitabilities.

I don't agree. How many Muslims are there in ekiti where tinubu had also won?what of Ogun, Ondo and Oyo states ? It's not as if he didn't get votes in lagos but lagos, being a cosmopolitan state and well-exposed, we didn't vote based on bigotry.

More Christians voted tinubu in the south than those Muslims who did same in the north. The majority of Northern Muslims voted atiku instead,check it. Imagine tinubu losing core Northern states to atiku. Remi lied as usual. Christians outnumber Muslims in Nigeria and not debatable. Only Kano has the largest number of Muslims in the north and you cant compare it with lagos population. Muslims in Kaduna are mainly in the northern part of Kaduna. The largest population of the southern Kaduna people are Christians. In adamawa, if i tell you Christians outnumber Muslims, would you agree?

Remove ilorin Muslims from kwara, what you have left is mixed in the state. Niger,.like the majority of the core northern states is only big in land mass and less in population. I'm a core Nigerian and have been everywhere

Adblg0610:
Remi Tinubu, a Christian pastor, stated during a U.S. visit that Muslims outnumber Christians in Nigeria and justified her husband’s Muslim-Muslim 2023 presidential ticket as a political strategy based on electoral numbers and religious demography of Nigeria.
She dismissed claims of “Christian genocide” as propaganda and said she represents both Christians and Muslims in the Presidential Villa. She also called for stronger U.S. military action against terrorists in northern Nigeria.
Her comments frame the same-faith ticket as pragmatic electoral politics rather than religious bias.
Why do you think that Christians are insistent on rotational Presidency? It’s because of the obvious population disparity, which they don’t want to admit.

LZAA:
Stop usin your religious plurality in your region as the benchmark for the whole nation
One of the main reasons buhari was overthrown in 85 was that muslim muslim thing
As per Abiola you might want to read Max siollun books on why he was never sworn in.
Performance is key?
In lala land

amaridigital:
So Muslim will rule us for 16 years straight. Asiwaju 8 years then the next Aboki president 8 years. Chai. E no be easy oh. Tinubu is a liberal Muslim but how are we sure the next Aboki president after Tinubu won't be a radical Muslim? It's too late to do anything about Tinubu for now unless we are deceiving ourselves but we need to insist on a Christian Aboki to be the next president after Tinubu.

AlphaTaikun:
That article above is from Gazette which is notorious for twisting the ORIGINAL comments people make in order to manipulate the largely GULLIBLE public. I will have to see Senator Oluremi Tinubu's original video interviews to get more clarity on this topic. The young men running Gazette are highly IRRESPONSIBLE liars. They fabricate FAKE news a lot and they need to come under the surveillance of the intelligence agencies.

Second, a lot of the young ones here do NOT realize that historically in Lagos State, the 1979 to 1983 Unity Party of Nigeria (UPN) government led by Alhaji Abdullatif Jakande and his Deputy-Governor Alhaji Jafojo was a "Muslim-Muslim" ticket and we who were alive as of 1979 and 1983 did NOT protest. The Yoruba folks who were NOT Muslims did NOT see anything wrong in that religious combination in 1979 and 1983. Even the 1993 June 12 Presidential elections was a Muslim-Muslim ticket and Chief MKO Abiola, GCFR, won that election.

The iconic nationalist, Chief Jeremiah Obafemi Awolowo, GCFR, SAN who is from Ikenne-Remo in Ogun State was the National Leader of the UPN during the Second Republic and he lifted the hand of Lateef Jakande (Jakande was born on Lagos Island BUT his parents are ORIGINALLY from the Yoruba town of Omu Aran in Kwara State. Alhaji Jafojo was an indigenous Yoruba-Awori man from Lagos State) up to endorse him as the candidate. Jakande and Jafojo both won a re-election as Governor and Deputy-Governor in 1983 devoid of this sickening religious bigotry being projected by some ethnic bigots. Fortunately, the people of Southern Kaduna who rejected APC due to insidious people like Nasir El-Rufai's bad treatments as the Kaduna State Governor have moved largely to APC from PDP and Labor due to the FACT that the current APC Governor of Kaduna State is doing well and is an all-inclusive Governor. Performance is key regardless of any religious combinations. Period.

Neoteny:
What a quandary for the Nigerian Christians 😂

If they agree, they admit they're a religious and political minority

If they disagree then their genocide propaganda falls apart

But they've to choose one option anyway

Decisions, decisions 🤔

smallsmall:
Assuming thta because Muslim Men marry more than One Wife and have many more Children, do you not realize that Mortality Rate among Muslims (due to issues like Religious Riots, Islamic Injunctions of beheadings, Poverty, Child Mortality and Diseases which are more prevalent among Muslims, Banditry, (Herdsmen and the likes), Terrorism (Boko Haram, ISIS, ISWAP and the rest) are geometrically more than that of Christians families who in most cases, raise the small Number of Children they have to Adulthood, while the casualty rate among Muslim family can be as high as 70% across board, which is why they need to have plenty children but their Population is actually reducing?

How do you conduct a credible Census with a Population that hides Women behind Walls or say it is Haram to count them and you will just be given a Number to write down?
Look across the North for example, you see thousands of Children roaming the Street, begging for food everyday, while their mates in the South are in Class receiving Education.
Between the Ignorant Almanjeri children in he North, and the Educated Southern Child, who do you think will eventually become the Lord, to the Other?
Why do you think Northerners are insisting on Quota system in everything and want "One Nigeria" by Force?
It is because they cant compete on a level ground with Southerners/
Right now, they are using Violence but it will get to the point where Violence either meets Violence or such Intimidation is no longer effective.

harqinhola:
If you believe she isn't making sense, then perhaps you're not thinking logically. Take a moment to consider that the Muslim-Muslim ticket worked for Tinubu, which serves as sufficient evidence to support her argument. If you disagree, let's pair Peter Obi with a Christian from the North to compare the outcomes.

lawani:
Osun is majority Christian. More than half of the population is in Ife Ijesa and the zone is majority Christian. The other zones still have Christians. In the nineteenth century there were many Muslims in Yoruba land but nowadays we have more Christians including hundreds of thousands bearing Muslim names. The SW is clearly majority Christian nowadays. The NC too is majority Christian. Benue, Plateau and Kogi are mainly Christian with Benue and Plateau almost 100 percent The NW will struggle to have ninety percent Muslim because of Kaduna while the NE may have a slight majority of Muslim. The SE and SS are more than ninety percent Christian. However the NW population maybe up to the NE and NC combined while the SW population is also up to SE and SS combined.

You call the genocide by jihadists a propaganda? May your children experience such if it's not.

AlphaTaikun:
What you wrote is partly historically incorrect BECAUSE I have access to historical census materials from the Colonial era showing that as of the 1950s, Yorubaland had more Muslims and adherents of Ifa (or the Yoruba religion) than the Christians.

Even the maps showing the demographic distribution of Muslims, adherents of the indigenous religions, and Christians in the North Central of Nigeria were CLEARLY shown.

The Western half of the Middle Belt had distinctively more Muslims and adherents of the indigenous religions than the Eastern half of the Middle Belt of Nigeria however had more Christians and traditionalists with the sprinkling of Muslims in the Adamawa Province area.

The 1891 Colonial census of of Isale Eko (Lagos) showed that Muslims and adherents of the Yoruba religion were far more than the Xtians who were LARGELY made up of Yoruba returnees (due to the trans-Atlantic enslavements) from Sierra Leone, Brazil, Cuba, United States via Liberia like the Vaughan family of Egba origin, etc. Many subgroups of Yorubas were listed as residents of Isale Eko as of 1891 such as Ekiti, Ijesa, Aworis, Oyos, Ijebus, Owus, etc. The Ilaje-Yoruba folks were NOT listed including the Ijaws who are falsifying history on the useless INC we site by claiming irresponsiblt that Ijaws are indigenous to Lagos.

Even the slave revolts in Bahia in Brazil was named the "Male Slave" revolt in the early 1800s and it was LARGELY led by Yoruba Moslems joined by Muslims from other West African ethnicities. The name "Male" Slave revolt comes from the Yoruba term for Muslims called "Imale." So, Islam has been in Yorubaland for 500 years in the Oyo Empire with Iwo having the FIRST EVER mosque built in the entire Yorubaland.

WhizdomXX:
The northwest is not up to the northeast and north central. More like south east and south south. South West 60-40, north central same, northeast likely same for moslems.
